    I have been to Korea chef a few times since they opened. My first visit was underwhelming. I arrived expecting a large sushi menu that is posted online only to find out that they are no longer offering the speciality rolls when busy. The fried rice and bi-bim-bap were not the best and service was slow. I left not expecting to go back. After going two additional visits I would say overall Korea Chef offers a wide variety of menu items and some are quite delicious. I am a big fan of the D.F.C roll and Kalbi. One of my visits we waited about 45 minutes to place our order. Currently their team is small, I recommend going if you have plenty of time and can enjoy the experience. Plenty of parking available!

    It pains me to give this place 3/5, but the service was awful and many others complained about the same thing. There was a lady that appeared to be a server, but only sat you brought you drinks and then it was radio silent. My friends and I waited quite a while to order apps and entrees, but when we could, it was awesome. The food was delectable a special shout out to the monkey brains. I will definitely be back and hope to up my review with better service!

    Seafood pancake, fried pork, fermented side dishes included.

    We lived in Seoul for two years and didn't realize this place had opened until two months late! We visited on a Sat for lunch! It was amazing! Very happy to see actual Korean owners and Cook! Every dish was delicious and took us right back to Korea! I noticed one reviewer said something was bland... NOT TRUE! Every dish was seasoned perfectly and the appropriate sauces and sides (such as fermented foods) were provided. It was perfect and we couldn't stop eating. In particular, I loved the Spicy Soup which, until now I had not been able to find of quality in the US. This will become a regular place for us and we'll definitely take friends there too! Highest recommendation!!

    Pork bulgogi and rice

    Lunchtime meal. Menu is extensive with a great variety to choose from including tons of sushi. The inside ambiance is comfy and the place is not all that big. I ordered spicy pork bulgogi and it came with hot white rice. Also get a selection of 5 different banchan which was a pleasant surprise. I also ordered a squid salad but it never came so I didn't get to try it. The food was sizzling hot. I enjoyed it and took some home for a snack. They don't have a lunch menu and drinks come in bottles with a glass of ice which I liked. After a fab tip I got out with a $29 total bill. Recommend giving it a try and next time I'll try some sushi.

    Took us a little bit to get here, but so glad we finally made it out. Korean husband and I decided to try this place for lunch today, and it was great! We ordered the seafood pancake (soooo good), jjangmyeon (pro tip- ask for the pickled radish to eat with it), kimbap, and beef yakisoba. Everything was fresh, delicious, and authentic. Can't wait to come back to try the tofu soup and bibimbap.

    **5/5 Stars** Absolutely loved this spot! The food was fantastic and the service really stood out, everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Every dish we tried was a hit. The *spicy shrimp ramen* had the perfect kick with a deep, comforting broth and plenty of shrimp (tempura style and served on the side). The *beef bulgogi* was tender, flavorful, and nicely balanced with that classic savory-sweet taste (tasted just like what we had in Korea a few years ago). We also ordered *chicken nuggets and french fries* for our toddler. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfectly fried and not overly salty. The *kimchi pancake*was a standout- crispy yet soft and savory. It was served with a delicious spicy and vinegary dipping sauce. The *side dishes (banchan)* were fresh, plentiful, and delicious, which is always a big plus. The ambience is cute and clean, with a cozy interior that feels well taken care of. One small note: when we first arrived, it was very quiet- like library-level quiet. I'd love to see them eventually add some K-pop or light background music to give the space a little more energy. Overall, amazing food, great service, and a lovely space. I'll definitely be back!

    Was underwhelmed, especially based on previous reviews. Wanted to call to get takeaway or Uber Eats but they have no phone and are not signed up for delivery. Spent $85 on Cucumber salad, shrimp pancake, combo beef and spicy chicken, spicy shrimp ramen, and salmon carpaccio. The carpaccio was the best part, and my bf scarfed it down bf I could get more than one bite. We will try again in-store...to-go may have been the downfall. Cucumber salad was not flavorful or mixed- DIY. Beef and chicken combo was good, shrimp pancake bland, as was the ramen. Server was super sweet as was other staff. Again, we will try again and eat in next time!!!

    Lee's is a great place for lunch during Monday - Friday (Currently, they are closed on Wednesday)…read more It's $18.99 with a choice of two proteins. If you need more, you can upgrade to all you can eat for $32.99. It also includes the banchan (fixin') bar with your choice of vegetable to add your grilling experience. Also include some favorite Korean side dishes like Kimchi, kimchi zucchini, and pickled radish along with your choice of sauces. There is two sides to this restaurant (bbq and hotpot). You have to choose when you are seated. The BBQ side is a nice and provides great ventilation. They have upgraded since they were Meats and Meats 2. The place is not filled with smoke from the grill unlike the other place in Pensacola. If you're looking for value, this is a decent Korean BBQ reataurant. Not a big selection, but their Bulgogi is better here. It's tender and marinated perfectly. The service is good and friendly.

    I was excited to try this Korean BBQ/Hot Pot in town as there is barely any Korean BBQ in the…read morePensacola/Navarre area. There is plenty of parking in this shopping center and we came on a Sunday evening. There was a 30 min wait time when we got there. Front host was super friendly. I love the seating here as it made you feel like you were at a picnic in the park but inside with A/C on. There are 2 sections of the restaurant. One section is for the AYCE Hot Pot and the other section is for AYCE Korean BBQ only. So it's not possible to do both at the same time. Side dishes are very minimal and you get it from the bar. There is also a sauce bar as well. We all decided to get Korean BBQ. We also opted for complementary miso soup. The highlights of the night were the following: Beef Brisket, Marinated Short Ribs (must have!!!), and Shrimp. We also had the beef bugoli and spicy calamari but it was just average. The marinated short ribs was the best meat out of all them. The grille itself takes a very long time to cook. The staff here was super friendly but there is just not enough staff here. (Not our super nice waiteess's fault!!) It took over 30 minutes for us to get our second round of meat here. I also had to flag her down for refills and more meat. Our dirty dishes were built up at our table and I had to round them up and take it to the dirty dish bucket. Both staff members just looked at me said to put it there when I asked where do the dirty dishes go. Price is $32.99 for AYCE Korean BBQ for each person. That's amazing is the prices includes a softdrink/ice tea. I have never seen this in GA ever. Price for the AYCE Hot Pot is $28.99. I didn't get a photo the menu as I only had Korean BBQ. There is also sign for 10% discounts for first responders (Fire, EMT, and Police) which is awesome as I have never seen that back in Georgia at a Korean BBQ/Hot Pot ever. Since this is the only AYCE Korean BBQ/Hot Pot in the Pensacola Beach area, I am going to have to recommend it if your in town and wanting some. Enjoy the photos!!

You can make a meal with a something similar to a bowl of ramen, or get tapas. We opted for tapas, 2 per person is about enough for a normal meal portion. In order of my preference, we ordered the following: 1. Ribs. The ribs were out of this world, and I don't even like ribs. They had a ginger, soy/teriyaki flavor, lots of tender meat, so good I used the sauce with the fries. 2. Tuna tacos. They were present as large chunks of seared tuna with excellent toppings, and hard shells. I would have preferred soft tacos, but still excellent. 3. Bao chicken bao cow. Very good, 2 steamed buns with meat and veggies, similar to a mini banh mi. 4. Ceviche. Good, but a very small portion, enough for 5-6 bites, not with the price per portion. 5. Duck fries. Good flavor, but no longer offered with poutine, which is what made it stand out in the first place. Not very original compared to other dishes. My wife also bought the kiss of the prom queen drink, which was extremely tart, which she loved and I hated ha. Mandy was our server, very friendly and genuine with perfect recommendations. We brought our baby too, no high chairs available, but we brought our own portable one.

    Edit: I forgot to mention walking in to the restroom seeing someone from the kitchen walk out of…read morethe stall, leave the bathroom without washing their hands, and I was only a few seconds behind him and he was already back in the kitchen... Gross. I genuinely don't understand the hype around this place. The pork ramen broth was so bland it was borderline inedible... I've had more flavor out of a 99¢ pack from Walmart. The duck fat fries? Also bland. The ribeye in the bao buns was crispy and chewy and burnt. The flavor of the buns themselves were okay. Also, the kimchi was wack. I've had better from Walmart as well. The only thing that actually had any flavor were the lobster rangoons, and that's not enough to save the experience. For the prices they're charging, this was a huge letdown. Easily one of the most disappointing meals I've had. Our server Bianca was pretty good, and it was kind of a vibe there, but the food was so horrible that it ruined the whole experience.
